Oh, man. Getting myself to the gym today was not easy. The fatigue has been real this week and I've also been dealing with bouts of intermittent nausea/queasiness. Thankfully, nothing worse than that, but it definitely adds to my lack of desire to go workout even more.
Anyway, today I restarted my 19 week lifting templates. It is 3 days a week and includes both upper and lower body work. I don't control the number of sets; I just pick the movement, put my 10 rep max into the provided box, and the file calculates my weights/set/rep scheme each day.
Since I know I'm pregnant this time around, I lowered my 10 rep max on a few movements, just to be safe. The weights I will be using are generally anywhere from 50-80% of my maxes and I am totally not against lowering the weights even more if I'm just not feeling it that day. As I said before, my plan is to do what I'm comfortable with and what my body tells me is okay. I am also taking my time between sets and making sure I keep my heart rate under control.
